A Presidential Affair: Alexa & Josh in Washington, D.C.

Alexa and Josh met during their freshman year of college on a trip to Israel. They were good friends throughout college, and it was not until their senior year that Josh decided he was going to "court" Alexa, and the rest is history. After being together for five years, Josh proposed to Alexa at the restaurant where they had their first date. Following a year-and-half engagement, the two tied the knot in their home city of Washington, DC at the Mayflower Hotel, featuring a Justin Alexander gown with a monarch length train, bobble heads as giveaways, and a very gorgeous purple chuppah, per a request by the bride. Photo: Brooke Tyson Photography
